A motocross track is an honest place for an obstacle race: loose ground, churned-up corners, and no illusion your shoes will stay clean. This is the 15th edition of a mud-first, dignity-later run, with the spirit summed up neatly as “crawling, climbing, sliding, ducking.”
Expect a varied course with tricky obstacles, plenty of mud, and a sand-run section that will make your calves file a complaint. The menu is “running, sliding, crawling, climbing,” plus good mood, mud, and a pool dug just for the occasion; the crowd is the sort of runner who hears “the year’s most party-like run” and packs a towel instead of excuses.
